Eldritch Horror Fighting Game - 2024 (Current Work In Progress)

For health reasons, I’ve been unable to use my VR helmet for a few months, which has put the Carmilla project on hold. In the meanwhile, I still wanted to create personal portfolio work. So I’ve been playing with a silly portfolio project idea that’s been rolling around in my head for a while - what if Mortal Kombat (or a similar fighting game) were crossed with the Eldritch Horror genre? With countless horror, adventure, and mystery games inspired by Lovecraft floating around (including “Dredge”, “Sunless Sea”, and “Song of Horror” to name a few of my favorites), it felt like an appropriate time to explore the idea.

My intent is to eventually design three characters - an Eldritch Priestess, a grizzled detective struggling with his own madness, and some sort of unknowable horror. I will also develop a few environments.

Skyblivion - 2021-Present

Skyblivion is a volunteer-based project by the TESRenewal modding group. They aim to bring the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to a new generation of gamers and re-introduce it to long time fans of the series. As one of their concept artists, I have been redesigning shoes, clothing, and other props based on the original Oblivion assets with improvements aimed towards pushing higher quality and storytelling.
